Turkey is supposedly a NATO member yet they are letting a radical Islamic army massacre ethnic Kurds on their doorstep.

It will always astound me that this happens in the richest countries in the world, all because some people want to make sure no one gets what they worked for for free, for any reason.

Ask and ye shall receive! Both of my cats do that all the time, but only when lying down. I have approximately 274,357 other photos like this as I am a full-on cat lady.

CUTE AS HELLLLL!

You thought "@amandabynes: My dad never did any of those things The microchip in my brain made me say those things but he's the one that ordered them to microchip me" was a coherent tweet?

Thank you guys so much...

My story is only legendary for its brevity... It went like this...

I had dated a guy for 3 years, we rarely fought, and had decided we should take our relationship to the next level. I had spent about 8 hours moving his stuff into my apartment when I unloaded his tv (I didn't have one) and was setting it up. I turned it on just to make sure it was properly connected and there…

This is how my dad broke up with my mom when they were still teenagers. It should be noted that they did get back together, get married, and eventually had a long overdue divorce for which everyone is better off.

Finally, my time to shine!

I kind of agree. Having kids is a trial by fire. You find out where all of your weaknesses as an adult are. It's an opportunity to make yourself better.

I also think that children need to see parents who know *HOW* to be happy, and that means selfcare and agency. They need to see moms who can take time for themselves.

I've read for a long time and never commented, but I just had to on this. You know, I just feel like, this "ugh.. Those parents who have nothing but their children and don't prioritize their marriage" stuff is just one more way to judge and guilt parents (especially mothers). Now, I don't just have to feel…

The line about children showing where the fault lines are really hit the nail on the head. My boyfriend's marriage fell apart after his children were born because it brought to light ways they were really incompatible (communicate differently, difference in values, different ways of handling stress etc.) and also gave…

I love that you refer to your parenting style as being a slacker mom, and I will now fully embrace that as my parenting style as well. I'm all about babysitters, self-play/entertainment for my daughter, having interests outside of the home, and loving my husband fiercely and just as passionately as I did before our…

PREACH. So many of my friends seem to make their mothering decisions based entirely on a mix of guilt and fear and not based on what they want/think is best for the kid. I have not had that problem so far, which leads to awkward conversations like:

This is so true. I have seen so many smart, accomplished women turn into the kind of person who will not let their child go to people's houses for play dates until they fill out a checklist form. (REAL SAMPLE QUESTION:HAVE ANY OF YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS BEEN ARRESTED FOR A SEXUAL OFFENSE?) They take their big brains and…

If I do get a divorce because my spouse can't handle having a kid, should I tell my kid that she's the reason daddy's moving out? I'm asking for a coworker who did just that. Then her ex lost visitation after he told the kid that he wished she never existed (she's 6).

Red panda keeping in shape.

I'm just gonna leave this here.
